Not used to twitter (or the site, for that matter), but expanding one's social networks can't be bad. If the words of a newcomer count, my best wishes for the twitter account.

For romance I would suggest Kimi ni Todoke or Say I Love You.
 
Also, Elfen Lied is amazing. It has elements from many genres, but yes it is quite gory at times

Banana pepper...

Tomoyo is hot, sexy, gorgeous, and cute in my book. She's my forever girl

Between fuwa and VNDB you will be able to play any VN you ever wanted.
And I'm sure you have more more knowledge than most people do when they first join, you shouldn't have any problem contributing to the lively discussion

My favorite lolicon is Araragi.



 
Least favorite would also be champ form Akame ga Kill. He's just really gross.

Genre bias:Action,comedy(both dark and light),romance and drama

I wrote a 1500 word essay about philosophy
and watched all of Nekomonogatari
Now I'm drinking

I don't listen to music much. I mostly prefer movie/anime soundtracks that sound 'epic' and pump up your adrenaline (TDK soundtrack, for example), or soundtracks that are emotional and tearjerking. I guess you could also call these 'mood songs.'
 
I do like a number of specific titles that aren't soundtracks though, such as
Johnny Cash - Hurt Dinah Washington & Max Richter - This Bitter Earth/On The Nature Of Daylight Karen O, Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross - Immigrant Song Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence Faylan - Blood Teller Yousei Teikoku - Fantasy Mythology YUI - again Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us Michael Jackson - Beat It Chata - Nocte of Desperatio Yuki Kajiura - Inevitabilis And so much more... but I'm too lazy to list all of them now. Hey, what do you know? I do listen to lots of music after all...

Youtube is a good idea, make a nice trailer.
Maybe try some of the anime news sites and see if they are interested in publishing an article on it.
Ask if people have blogs and if they want to write on it. I can help make you a post om VNAer if you want too
And of course get people to talk about it~

Just don't post it on 4chan.

This list won't feature the VNs in order of "how good they are". Rating them would be way too much of a clusterfuck to me.
The VNs are not in their respective order. Meaning number 1 is not the best, and so on.
 
1_CHAOS; HEAD
 
2_Cross Channel
 
3_G-Senjou no Maou
 
4_Fate/Stay Night
 
5_Forest
This Visual Novel is the easiest visual novel translated to get a bad ending without using a walkthrough- which just adds to the fun of it. It makes a massive amount of references to common literature, which makes it even better.
 
6_Katahane
It may seem like an ordinary moege- the atmosphere is light, the story is full of cuteness, which you can note by the character design and soundtrack. It gets really good in the middle, and you'll be dying to know what happens in the end. A game with multiple perspectives, it's definitely one of the most enjoyable Visual Novels I've ever read.
 
7 Majikoi
 
8_Little Busters!
 
9_Tsukihime
"You shouldn't tell lies that you can't even fool yourself with"
 
10_Swan Song
A post apocalyptic Visual Novel.
 
11_Symphonic Rain
 
It may seem like your ordinary moege. Trust me, it's not.
 
12_Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo (and sequel)
 
13_Sekien no Inganock
Steampunk. An atmosphere full of mysteries and references that will make your head blow up.
 
14_Steins; Gate
A visual novel that deals extensively with time travel and it's consequences.
 
15_Utawarerumono
 
16_Fault: Milestone (1 & 2)
 
17_Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni 
 
18_Kara no Shoujo
 
19_Umineko no Naku Koro ni 
 
20_Planetarian
 
21_Ever 17
Another top 10.
 
22_Remember11
It lacks in the ending, but otherwise the story of this VN has enough to easily become one of my all-time favorites.
 
23_Zanmataisei Demonbane
 
24_Rewrite
"Could it possibly be rewritten, this fate of hers?"
Another one that enters the top 10.
 
25_Narcissu
 
26_Grisaia no Kajitsu
 
27_Saya no Uta
Only if you enjoy dark and messed up settings.
 
28_Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni
 
29_Eien no Aselia
 
30_Rose Guns Days (1 & 2)
There are small sections of gameplay on this one, but you can skip them by pressing the space bar, so this still qualifies.
 
31_Sengoku Rance
I feel obliged to comment on this VN before suggesting it to anyone. It's an Alicesoft title, which speaks a lot for itself... If you don't know how it's going to be like, well.. Kind of tough to describe. Lots of sex, including comedy rape. Alicesoft tends to make the whole story a comedy until right near the end, where things actually do get serious. It's worth checking out, if you don't mind Rance's personality. 
 
32_Phenomeno
Want a short VN that can captivate you for their whole duration? Here is it.
Visual novel adapted from the youth horror novel written by Hajime Ninomae and illustrated by yoshitoshi ABe.
 
33_Ef- A Fairy Tale of the Two
 
34_Dysfunctional Systems
Another one great for those who want short Visual Novels.
 
35_Daibanchou
Another Alicesoft title. While Rouga is not near Rance's level when it comes to pissing off people, alicesoft's style is something which often doesn't please people. 
36_Yume Miru Kusuri
The endings pack quite a punch.
 
37_Kikokugai- The Cyber Slayer
 
38_Eden 
 
39_Hoshizora no Memoria
 
40_Katawa Shoujo
Yep, it's somewhat overrated. Still, the fact that it is substantially easier for those who are starting to play visual novels to read should not be discarded, and overall, the story was good.
 
41_World End Economica
 
42_YU-NO
 
43_Shikkoku no Sharnoth
Yep, there is a minigame on this one. If you download a save data you can skip the minigame, though. So it still qualifies. Another VN that enters my top 10.
 
44_Muv Luv Alternative
The first Muv Luv didn't have enough to enter this list. You should still read it, though~
MLA is definitely awesome.
 
45_Dangan Ronpa
 
46_Comyu - Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku
 
47_Hanachirasu
 
48_Ayakashibito
 
49_I/O
 
50_Deardrops
 

Derailing in Games and Chatter?
From what I've seen, this is an occurrence which can be overlooked. With the somewhat random and weird topics found on there, derailing from the topic shouldn't be much of a problem. Besides, derailment in Games and Chatter only lasts for a few posts or so.

So the Fuwanovel logo contest has started and inevitably some of the great entries you like will not make it to the final banner.
But worry not, because I come with the so requested feature.
 
 
FUWA LOGO RANDOMIZER
 
It is a script for Greasemonkey (firefox) and Tempermonkey (chrome) (or any other monkey addon in different internet browsers).
 
Once you have the addon installed, click this button to install the script: INSTALL
 
Open the script to add the logos you want, //comments are in the file to let you know what to change to add or replace some of the images.
 
Currently it cycles through Mare and Shinku logos.
 
 
code:
// ==UserScript== // @name Fuwa Logo Randomizer // @namespace Steve // @description randomly cycles through fuwa logos // @include http://*forums.fuwanovel.net/* // @run-at document-body // ==/UserScript== // ADD LINKS TO THE LOGOS YOU WANT TO USE INSIDE THE BRACKET, ENCLOSED BY QUOTATION MARKS, SEPARATED BY A COMMA var randomlogo = [ "http://i.imgur.com/6VlY0LD.png", "http://i.imgur.com/EWPkUBn.png" ]; var count = 2; // CHANGE THIS NUMBER TO THE NUMBER OF LOGOS YOU WANT TO USE var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * (count)); var logo = document.getElementById("logo").getElementsByTagName("img"); logo[0].src =randomlogo[random];

Probably quiet girls. Or girls with a sense of passion and emotion that never really bubble to the surface. Like Rin Tezuka, Hitagi Senjougahara, Homura Akemi.
 
I guess I just like characters like this because they really do reflect myself in some way. I'm pretty damn introverted when it comes to my emotions and I tend not to admit things or speak my mind that often.
 
Am I interested in women because they remind me of myself? What the fuck?

Fuwa helps by raising awareness, however as the population of a community increases, the overall quality might decrease. So, however unlikely it is, take this example: If CoD people grew an attraction to VN's, I do not think that would help to be honest. I'd rather let VN's stay to the few people that have managed to find them by their own means. The problem this creates is that this causes a tiiiiiiiiiiiny Western VN market. But thanks to the translators, that problem is alleviated to some degree. I'd still like VN's to be localized, just not showed to everyone in the public.

Sadist, onee-chan types.

Please bear my children Mikako.

Ooh, you dirty.

...So you licked Tomoyo?

We need more Date A Live here, all girls from Date A Live are very kawaii.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought it might be interesting to see what the Fuwa community likes or dislikes in studios.
Feel free to list a few studios that you like or comment on studios that you believe are succeeding or failing.
 
Here's a few that I have enjoyed in no particular order:
 
Bones
Production I.G
Gainax
Shaft 
and some Studio Deen 

Ive actually been talking about it with my programmer friend and he is already on board.
We were also considering making a short anime, but making a visual novel would be much easier. My artist friend has a thing for sexually explicit content so the game would definitely not be lacking in h scenes.
 
We need someone to provide original audio, preferably classical type instrumentals. Which we might be able to just produce on our own.
What we need most is a solid idea, that is thought evoking, heart wrenching, and provocative all in one. I am willing to hear some ideas, but my team would want to make slight alternations. I am a writer by trade, (impoverished at the moment) so I have some ideas of my own

Lucky, If I actually knew an artist in person as well as somebody who could take care of the programming aspects of making a VN, I would seriously consider it. 

Newbies welcoming Newbies. I never thought I'd see the day.

The hell with Sanada, if he can´t understand you. it´s his problem

omg,how best friends are made. That said, perhaps Novel21 should type this in his/her own language and then someone else who knows both can translate it? I presume they want someone/some people to help them do the drawing/coding part of making a vn or something (I know nothing of the subject of vn creation).
 
sidenote: I love the budding relationship forming between SanadaShadow and Heizei_koukousei, perhaps that would make a good topic for the story of the VN >,>
